have a staleness signal on the website

[m@…]

We want to be able to signal that our calendar is up to date and there are people in the space keeping it alive & lived in somehow.

other hackerspaces that stagnate / go into hibernation sometimes keep their website up and it looks like they're doing things but in reality they aren't.

[m@…]

this could be done with spaceAPI occupancy sensors hooked up to CO2 or bluetooth or wifi or something within homeassistant. or javascript checking webpage last modified / deployed date.

I've added spaceapi to homeassistant via ​https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/spaceapi/. can't figure out how to expose the ​http://homeassistant.devhack.net/api/spaceapi endpoint successfully.

need to figure out what a good presence detection is. either front door opened, carbon dioxide. or a physical action. see: #164

bluetooth device presence detection might work? like ESPresense. “last time an abnormal amount of bluetooth devices showed up at the space: 3h ago (165 devices)”

Got stuff up and running at ​https://devhack.net/spaceapi.json, although not committed yet because I need to store homeassistant tokens somewhere for the nginx config.

Gonna make a widget for the front page to pull from that & add it to the ​spaceapi directory

Technologia Incognita has a physical ​button to control their spaceapi state. this probably makes the most sense? Let people manually say the space is open? (picture attached of their button)

current spaceapi hass config looks like this, needs work since our door state controller went down:

spaceapi:
  space: /dev/hack
  logo: https://devhack.net/favicon.ico
  url: https://devhack.net
  location:
    address: "4534½ University Way NE, Seattle WA"
  contact:

  issue_report_channels:

  state:
    entity_id: binary_sensor.front_door

[maia]

i've changed it to use lights for now (the way that the Telegram bot works):

  state:
    entity_id: binary_sensor.all_lights_helper
  sensors:
    temperature:
        - sensor.median_temperature
